Lin is a B- type of player. I would have traded him to get rid of Amare because PG's don't win chips in the NBA (Last time a #1 PG dominant team won was Isiah) and Amare somehow became trash in one year.

Lin + Amare for Gasol. You would get a player who relies on Skill not athleticism for a player who once had athleticism but for some reason can't use it any more and an up and coming top 10 PG. Baron could keep the seat warm putting up similar production to Lin while we searched for another League Average Point Guard.

B- for a rook he's great. We all know what he does well. He still gets exposed on defense by more athletic PG's (i mean...Norris Cole?!?!) and has a hard time fighting through NBA screens...which i guess gets better with time.

WTF are you smoking man? Hes not a great player, hes a good player. If Lin is great then what is Kobe or Lebron or Durant? Great times 2? And hes easily the best defensive guard to play for dantoni huh, not Shumpert, not Raja Bell, not even Douglas, but Jlin whom Parker, Jennings, Deron, Rose , all lit up? U dont know squat about ball.

Just different standards dude.

To me there are many great NBA players now. Truly!

Do you know how good they must be (and must have been for a long time) in order to earn them a spot in NBA?

So they are all good players to me. And whoever shines a lot in this kind of competitive world is a great player.

He is becoming the leader of this team. It's strange though, because he's basically a rook and he commands that kind of respect. Turning the team around and being able to handle himself in crunch time will do that i guess..

And he can grow into an allstar caliber player.

It's his personality. He does it quietly and humbly. Though, I caught (for the first time) his hand signals last night to get the players closer to the hoop. He's so likeable (to me) and the team can only get better. There's a lot of talent there, and the excitement level is tremendous.
